Overview

Roy Palmer presents the folklore of the county as a series of themes that embrace landscape, buildings, beliefs, work, seasons, people, sport, dance, drama, and music. In so doing, ten chapters are crafted that can stand alone or be read as a whole, each full of snippets of insight into the county's past in a way that adds to anyone's enjoyment of Worcestershire. After a reading of the book, features of the landscape, for example, will appear as landmarks associated with certain folk beliefs adding to one's own sense of 'belonging' to the county.
